Hi,

Passage of time is a very good way to make things come to the surface.

• Waratah Strata Management received a USB with files from BCS Strata Management on 1 February 2017, during transfer of duties.
  
• During 2018, Waratah Strata Management gave USB with SP52948 strata files (apparently the only copy they had) to the Police to investigate alleged insurance frauds and alleged false statements by BCS Strata Management to CTTT in the Statutory Declaration dated 19 April 2013.
• The USB was subsequently lost by the Police.
• The Police and Waratah Strata Management attempted to obtain a copy of the USB from BCS Strata Management, which was declined (documented in Minutes of EC meetings in March and May 2019).
• On 1 February 2019 Waratah Strata Management allegedly had major hacker break-in and lost almost all of SP52948 files, including backups. They reported it to owners as late as 13 March 2019.
  
• By the same token, Waratah Strata Management informed owners about the lost USB with strata files for any period before 1 February 2017 on 13 March 2019, 11 months after the Police misplaced it.
• Fair Trading NSW has opened an investigation about Waratah Strata Management, as per referral by the Minister in May 2019.
  

Some updates to share:

I have now collected information with full evidence that none of the general meetings conducted by BCS Strata Management could satisfy quorum due to unfinancial owners and that BCS Strata Management failed to collect correct GST for Australian Taxation Office. "Unfinancial owners" was not part of the CTTT hearings. It was confirmed through a Solicitor.

Office of Legal Services Ombudsman confirmed on 1 March 2019 and 29 June 2019 that they would help the Police and/or SP52948 owners corporation obtain copies of the eight emails upon request. SOlicitor Adrian Mueller has legal obligation to keep them for sever years (after the end of legal proceedings), which ends in February 2021.

I welcome any comments.

Regards,

As Licensee-In-Charge of BCS, I reply to your email seeking information and requesting we undertake research for certain documents and make further comments in relation to a series of attachments to your email.

Your plan is now managed by Waratah Strata at Eastwood and I suggest you seek to do a search of their books and records in relation to the documents that you seek. We no longer manage your strata scheme and thus have no authority to give you any access to any documents of the owners corporation or those held by BCS.

It would appear that you are seeking documents that I understand were both subject to legal privilege and the matters to which you refer were the subject of a deed of agreement to which you were a party.

As far as our company is concerned the matters you refer to, that arose more than 5 years ago, are now closed.
